I signed up. I'm guessing that we don't have to write the exams in person. Does anyone know?

"The exams will be offered within a 24 hour period around Nov 19/20 (midterm exam) and Dec 17/18 (final exam). ... The actual exams will only take 4 hours and there is flexibility when you start the exam within these dates, but once you begin you must complete the exam in 4 hours"

I don't think anyone's expecting to take these in person.

If you've signed up for these classes, how about letting others know here? Perhaps we might be able to form ad-hoc groups to help each other when we're stuck? If I've missed this suggestion in another thread, please let me know. In the meantime, I've made a google spreadsheet so please add your details if you want to find other HN readers taking part. http://bit.ly/pLCRzg Edit: Also found this on reddit - http://www.…

Great idea, I'll be joining you. We can keep a chat room open to help each other and just talk AI.

An irc channel on freenode would be ideal. How about irc://irc.freenode.net/#ai-class

Interesting, did anyone who subscribed receive any news via email about the registration being opened ? I didn't.

I got no mail, and was signed up for ai, ml, db. It seems only ai is open to registration so far, perhaps to get an idea of demand and discover bugs...

I don't know whether to take this course or the machine learning one. The both seem very interesting, but I only have time for one. I don't care much about robots, and was partly sold by Ng's separating music from background. OTOH I want to learn Bayes networks and natural language processing. I'd appreciate any advice.

Are we gonna do this? I took AI in college but it was so-so, and I was thinking about doing this again. Anyone in a similar situation?

Yes I'm in the same boat as you. My AI wasn't taught by Norvig in college( though he was a pretty good professor) so it might be interesting to see a different opinion on what "intro to AI" should consist of. I'm also interested in what the delivery system is going to be like. This might be the way courses are offered in the future.
